Next time you're driving in circles searching for a place to park, take a moment to think of Donald Shoup. He spent his life trying to bring sanity to parking policy. RIP to a champion of urbanism as well as common sense.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.
